Can this bag be used for daily wear?

How should I store the bag when not in use?

What is the best way to clean the suede lining?

For minor dust or dirt, use a soft suede brush. For stains, it is best to consult a professional specializing in leather and suede cleaning.

Troubleshooting

Bag losing shape

Ensure the bag is not overstuffed. Store it upright with stuffing inside when not in use to maintain its form.

Magnetic snap closure not working smoothly

Check for any obstructions around the snap mechanism. Ensure the leather around the snap is not warped or damaged.

Scuff marks on leather

Gently buff small scuff marks with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper marks, use a leather conditioner or consult a professional leather repair service.

Discoloration on calfskin

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or heat. If discoloration occurs, consult a specialist leather care provider.
